Respondents are advised that the Government assumes no responsibility to award an Enhanced-Use Lease based upon responses to this Sources Sought Notice. This Sources Sought Notice is to identify potential sources for information and planning purposes only, and is not intended to pre-qualify or disqualify any potential respondents. The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is to assist with market research to determine if responsible and qualified sources exist to redevelop certain assets on the West Los Angeles Campus of the Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System, as more fully described in Section III, in accordance with the West Los Angeles Leasing Act of 2016 (P.L. 114-226) and Subchapter V of Chapter 81 ( § § 8161 8169) of Title 38, United States Code (U.S.C.). The information gained from this Sources Sought Notice will be used to assist the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs ( VA or Government ) in determining if this development opportunity must be set-aside for competition restricted to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) or Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 8127. The Government will use this information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement. The Government requests that interested parties respond to this Sources Sought Notice with the specific information requested in Section V of this Sources Sought Notice and identify their small business status. Only SDVOSBs and VOSBs are invited to provide information to contribute to the market research for this project. SDVOSB and VOSB firms must be registered in VA s Office of Small & Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) Vendor Information Pages (VIP) site at https://www.vip.vetbiz.gov/. Although this notice focuses on SDVOSB and VOSB, VA encourages all small businesses and other interested parties to respond for market research purposes. Business concerns responding to this Sources Sought Notice should be aware that such response does not ensure that their Business concern qualifies for any underlying future solicitation or contract award. Additionally, responding to this Sources Sought Notice is NOT a prerequisite to respond to any future subsequent sources sought notice, solicitation for offers, request for qualifications, or request for proposals. The Government will not reimburse participants for any expenses associated with their participation in or response to this Sources Sought Notice. The Government cannot, and does not, provide any warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability or completeness of the information contained in this Sources Sought Notice. Overview and Objectives VA, under its Enhanced-Use Leasing (EUL) authority (38 U.S.C. § § 8161- 8169; in conjunction with the West Los Angeles Leasing Act of 2016, P.L. 114-226), is seeking expressions of interest from qualified SDVOSBs and VOSBs and other interested parties to serve as a Principal Developer for purposes of implementing a critical aspect of the Draft Master Plan for the redevelopment of the VA Greater Los Angeles (GLA) Healthcare System, West Los Angeles Campus, in Los Angeles, California. The Draft Master Plan outlines VA s intent to transform the West L.A. Campus into a vibrant community providing housing for homeless and at-risk Veterans and their families, in addition to healthcare, benefits, employment, and other services for all eligible Veterans. More information about VA s Draft Master Plan efforts can be found on the following website: https://www.losangeles.va.gov/masterplan/. For purposes of this project, the Principal Developer would be a non-VA entity who has the qualifications outlined in Section V of this Sources Sought Notice. The Principal Developer will be expected to develop at least 900 units of permanent supportive housing for homeless and at-risk Veterans and their families on the North Campus utilizing VA s EUL authority. Specifically, VA s EUL authority provides a mechanism for VA to lease certain VA-owned assets to private entities for up to 75 years to finance, develop, renovate, construct, operate, and maintain permanent supportive housing units, related infrastructure, and on-site community-based support services for homeless and at-risk Veterans and their families. The first asset to be developed by the Principal Developer would be Building 207. VA conducted a Public Hearing on Building 207 and the Principal Developer concept on April 26, 2018. The slides and questions and answers from the Hearing can be found on the following website: https://www.losangeles.va.gov/masterplan/. VA s Office of Asset Enterprise Management (OAEM) administers the EUL Program. EULs require approval by the VA Secretary and oversight through annual compliance inspections. VA refers Veterans for housing and monitors housing operations. As part of the EUL process, VA must comply with all applicable laws, including all environmental and historic preservation requirements. The West Los Angeles Leasing Act of 2016 explicitly prohibits the sale of land, and all improvements will revert to VA at the end of each lease. The objectives of this development opportunity include but are not limited to: Accelerate delivery of permanent supportive housing for homeless and at-risk Veterans and their families on the West Los Angeles Campus; Repurpose vacant and underutilized land and buildings on the North Campus for purposes of permanent supportive housing; and, Develop a housing model geared towards enabling Veterans to achieve self-sufficiency and live independently. Additional information on the VA s EUL Program may be obtained at: http://www.va.gov/assetmanagement/. Development Scope The intent of this Sources Sought Notice is to assist VA with market research and to determine if this contracting opportunity must be set-aside for competition restricted to SDVOSB or VOSB concerns, pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 8127. In this regard, responses to this Sources Sought Notice, in addition to other market research, will assist VA in determining whether there is a reasonable expectation that two or more SDVOSB or VOSB concerns will submit offers and that the award can be made at a fair and reasonable price that offers best value to the United States, pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 8127. Accordingly, VA seeks SDVOSB or VOSB concerns that can develop, plan, and implement the agreed upon plan to transform VA s North Campus assets into over 900 units of additional permanent supportive housing for homeless and at-risk Veterans and their families in accordance with VA s EUL authority. All North Campus assets with the exception of all previously executed EULs and the State Home, Columbarium, and Columbarium expansion area, as shown in Attachment A to this Sources Sought Notice, would be evaluated by the Principal Developer for potential redevelopment, subject to VA approval. Following selection, the Principal Developer would undertake all necessary investigation activities to produce development scenarios for the North Campus to provide permanent supportive housing to meet the needs of homeless and at-risk Veterans and their families. Upon completion of the Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) / Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR), the Principal Developer would proceed in implementing selected development scenarios. The first asset to be developed by the Principal Developer would be: Building 207 51,010 Gross Square Feet Built in 1940 Most Recent Use: Supportive Housing Poor Condition Contributing Historic Resource Please the attachment for a map showing the location of Building 207 and the broader Principal Developer scope.

The campus is located in the densely urbanized Brentwood neighborhood, and encompasses approximately 388 acres. The GLA campus is one of largest medical center campuses in the VA system.
